Chapter 67: The Man Has Tears
Zhu Youzhen returned to the city and went to see the settlement of the wounded again.
He walked in and out of tents, comforting the sober wounded. Some of the wounded were unfortunate because they were disabled. But compared to those buried outside the city, they were lucky, at least they could return to their homes alive and see their loved ones.
Whether it is these disabled wounded or the dead warriors outside the city, the only thing Zhu Youzhen can do is to send money, and send a lot of money.
After all this, Zhu Youzhen returned to the city, looked at the sun gradually moving west, and gave the order to let Zhou Yuji return to the city. He suddenly remembered the legend that a large part of the ancient people were night blind, and he was a little worried about their safety.
His fears turned out to be unfounded.
When the sun was about to set over the distant horizon, Zhou Yuji's dragoons appeared at the end of the line of sight, first as a dot and then as a line.
Sunset, horses, black-armored knights on horseback.
Like a painting.
3,000 enemies were annihilated, and there were no casualties.
The dragoons stood in front of Zhu Youzhen one by one with their heads held high, hoping for his praise. Most of them were young and had left their homes all the way to the border. For the sake of glorifying the lintel, making meritorious contributions, and defending the country. Whichever of these reasons is the most important, at least, they have fought with their lives on the battlefield.
"Do you drink?"
"Yes!"
"Want to drink?"
"Yes!"
"Tonight, I'll let you drink as much as you want!"
The cheers pierced the clouds, and the sun disappeared from the horizon as if frightened, hiding.
Zhu Youjian determined that Huang Taiji would not go and return.
And Huang Taiji really won't.
The march at night was inconvenient, so he stopped and set up camp by a river.
The scout who went to find out the news has been back for a long time.
As his uneasy premonition, the two Jiala, three thousand cavalry, were annihilated.
The Zhenghuang Banner under his command was only more than 9,000 people, and this time it was lost by one-third. Not only that, but the Eight Banners, who have always been invincible, have been dealt a heavy blow. Although it is often said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, that is the business of generals. If a soldier has the belief that he is invincible, the combat effectiveness of the army will be qualitatively enhanced. Belief depends on victory after victory. But the collapse of faith may only be due to a one-time failure.
In the tent, the four Baylors sat in silence.
Finally, Mang Gurtai couldn't help it.
"Great Khan, will you go back to Shengjing next?"
"Back! The cavalry of the other side restrained our Eight Banners soldiers, and could only temporarily avoid the edge. ”
"Now that winter is approaching, the trade on the Mongolian side is broken again, what should we do?" Amin asked a question that had nothing to do with the present, but was very meaningful.
Huang Taiji was silent.
Nurhachi killed too much, and although Liaodong has a vast territory and fertile soil, there are too few people. Since he succeeded to the throne in the past two years, although he has implemented a policy of Huairou towards the Han people, it is difficult to achieve great results in a short period of time. And the semi-nomadic, half-fisherman and hunter-sheriff Jurchens are not good at farming at all, and they don't want to farm. How can you snatch it from the ground as fast as it gets?
"Some time ago, there were more than 20,000 women and children who were inserted into the Han Dynasty, more than 70,000 sheep, more than 10,000 cattle, and 20,000 war horses. If you think about it, this expedition also has some gains. Dai Shan spoke.
After hearing this, a few people finally felt better, and at least robbed a lot of people and things.
"Will the Ming army come again tonight?" Manggultai asked again, he was a little scared of the black-armored cavalry. I don't get close to you, I shoot at the crowd from a distance, I can't catch up with you, I can't escape, I'm not human.
"Probably not. But we still have to be vigilant, I have asked the scouts to be on guard twenty miles away, and we can respond in time as soon as there is news. Huang Taiji replied.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Huang Taiji announced the end of this ceremony.
There was silence outside the tent, and the scene of singing and dancing after returning from the expedition in the past no longer existed, and many Eight Banner soldiers were wondering why. Why lose?
No one told them the answer, because the creator of the problem, Zhu Youzhen, was drinking.
Bare ass Fenjiu.
There are more than 10,000 soldiers in the Yongwei battalion, and more than 5,000 soldiers in the right guard to defend the city, each with a bottle.
Killing pigs and vegetables, roasting whole sheep, dozens of people in a circle, around the bonfire, began to blow in front of the bottle.
Zhu Youzhen also poured himself a glass, he didn't drink well and didn't dare to drink more.
An emperor who drinks too much is not something to celebrate.
Wang Laipin drank too much, and after drinking this talker, his mouth was like a faucet that couldn't be closed, and he was chattering vigorously.
Xu is wine is strong and courageous, he found Zhu Kezhen with half a bottle of wine.
"How about calling all our classmates from the military academy and saluting the principal?"
Zhu Kezhen saw his reddish face and misty eyes. Nodding and agreeing, with his understanding of Wang Laipin, if he doesn't agree, he will definitely drown himself with nonsense!
After a while, the classmates of the two classes gathered together and stood in front of Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen was also a little drunk at this time, looked at a group of students, and asked suspiciously:
"What are you doing here?"
"Headmaster, we'd like to toast you." Wang Laipin said loudly.
"Haha, you are fighting on the battlefield, I should respect you! This glass of wine, I'm dry! ”
After speaking, he drank the small half glass of wine in his hand.
When the king came to see His Majesty giving face like this, he screamed excitedly.
"The Headmaster is mighty! I did it too! ”
After speaking, he lifted the small half bottle of wine in his hand and put it in his mouth, and after a while, he saw a little.
As a result, as soon as I got down, my stomach churned, and I didn't hold it and turned my head and squirted out. just vomited Zhu Kezhen.
"I'm tired of my mother, you're dead on the street, I'm all over me, I'm lost!" Zhu Kezhen, who has always been bad at words, scolded Wang Lai's head, causing everyone to laugh. Zhu Youzhen also knew why he didn't talk much.
Seeing this situation, the sergeant of the Yongwei Battalion also instigated Zhou Yuji and others to come over and toast him, but Zhu Youzhen couldn't get rid of it, so he drank another half a cup.
Then came the sergeant of the perfect right guard.
Finally, his eyes began to fog, and he took advantage of his consciousness to return to his residence. Leave the crowd to continue the party.
At this time, the descendant of the great golden family, Hudun Rabbit, was stationed by the river not far from the city, and was eating a dry roast leg of lamb at the moment. Listening to the faint laughter and laughter in the city, he was so angry that he wanted to drop the leg of mutton in his hand.
"Gui Yingcha, tomorrow you will go to the city to exchange supplies with the Ming army!"
After saying that, he threw away the leg of mutton, wiped the oil on his hands, and went back to sleep in the tent in a huff.
In fact, Hudun Rabbit's idea is not entirely right, because these people in the city who have lost their robes are not necessarily really happy.
The post-war pressure needs to be released, which is also an important willingness of Zhu Youzhen to let them drink.
As for the rule that you can't drink alcohol in the army, are the rules as big as the emperor?
"Dazhu, I'm sorry for you, what are you saving me for!? How will I explain to your mother when I go back? Whining! ”
"Liu Laoqi, don't think that you blocked the knife for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is grateful to you. You still haven't paid back the three taels you owe me! Give me back your dog's day! ”
Some people laughed and cried, why are the comrades who ate and lived together last night buried in the loess pit outside the city today?
I drank too much and shed two tears, no one should laugh at me, right?
Look, aren't you all crying?
The sun will rise as usual the next day, but some people won't see it.
Most people don't like war, because it costs people lives and homes, but it's war that can stop it.
